Chapter 23: Transporting Qinglong, Hiding Occupation (Additional Chapter Today)
I've been online for 18 hours now, and I have to say that this game is incredibly grand, even I'm deeply immersed in it. After struggling to level 10, I logged off, although I was still in the mortal world, my cultivation had reached a point where I could absorb spiritual energy on my own, but I couldn't relax yet. So, after running the Wu Wei Heart Method for 81 cycles in my body, my cultivation gained a small boost, and then I put on my headset and went online again.
Standing at the bottom line, looking around, although the game has been open for several days, people are still pouring in endlessly. And when I looked back, there were even guys standing in the newbie village staring at the newly entered players wearing three-point MM outfits with drool on their faces. Ah, so embarrassing. Shaking my head without saying a word, I walked towards the teleportation array.
I opened my own attributes, and now I'm already level 10. I can go to the city to change jobs. Standing in front of the transmission array, I couldn't help but let out a heroic roar: "I've finally made it!" At this time, several brothers standing next to the transmission array couldn't help but cast a few white eyes at me.
"Who doesn't get sick?" said passerby A.
"Maybe he's just too excited from leveling up his newbie skills!" said passerby B.
"What a pity! Such a handsome guy has gone crazy, sigh... I originally wanted him to be my Prince Charming!" Mother T-Rex MM said, and everyone vomited.
Upon hearing this conversation, I couldn't help but blush and quickly gathered my things before stepping onto the transmission array. At that moment, I heard the system's voice.
System Prompt: Please select the delivery city!
I took a look and saw that there were Qinglong City, Baitu City, Zhuque City, Xuanwu City, and the Imperial City. The Imperial City was not open yet, it seemed like I needed to complete some specific task or something. So I chose Qinglong City. A white light flashed around me, and I disappeared from the newbie village.
System Prompt: Player 'Long Ao Tian' was the first to leave the novice village, system reward 100 gold coins; System reward prestige 100; Please let other players continue their journey.
At this time, several new village sounds rose up with different voices.
"Brother Long, you've finally reached level 10. I'm already at level 9 now. You have to wait for me!" A young girl said to the empty air.
"Big brother, you're really my idol, I want to be your younger brother." A player said enviously as he listened to the system prompt.
"Some people have already reached the new village, looks like I need to work harder." He then crazily charged into the monster crowd.
"Hmph, you've actually managed to get ahead of me. However, even if you did manage to get ahead of me, it won't stop my progress in unifying the game. Bring him here and search his data thoroughly. If he can be recruited, recruit him. If not, make him disappear from this world." A cold and sinister voice said. At this time, Ao Tian naturally wouldn't know that just because he was the first to leave the newbie village, he had brought upon himself a huge amount of trouble. But there's no need to worry, with Ao Tian's current cultivation level, who in this world could be his opponent?
Qinglong City, one of the five major main cities in the system.
I stood in front of the gate of Qinglong City, looking at the magnificent architecture, with flames illuminating the city walls and two majestic statues guarding the entrance. I couldn't help but marvel at how realistic this game was designed. Although it was a bit quiet inside the city, it didn't affect my mood for changing jobs. Remembering that Zixue was still waiting for me, I quickly followed the map's directions and walked into the job change hall.
But all I saw was a strange old man standing there, seeing me come in, smiling at me with a faint smile. I was shocked, I didn't know him. At that moment, I only heard the old man speak: "Young man, not bad, you've reached level 10 so quickly, are you here to change jobs? Although you disturbed my sleep, since you're the first player to change jobs, I won't hold it against you." Sweating, although NPCs have become a bit smarter, they shouldn't be this smart, right?
I hastily walked over and said to the old man: "Old sir, hello, I'm here to transfer the sword guest."
"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, let's take a look at the rewards you got when you entered the game first." Is this still an NPC? How does it even know this? He didn't remind me, but I remember that when I entered the game, I seemed to have received a hidden profession reward.
"I asked with doubt. 'Aren't you an NPC of the system?'"
"Hehe, I'm indeed not. I'm a staff member of the 'Second World', specially arranged to come and help you with your job transfer. Because the profession you want to transfer to is quite special." Looks like I guessed it right.
"What's my hidden profession reward then?" I asked hastily.
"Hey young man, don't be so impatient. Your hidden profession is a Cultivator. How's that? It's just like those gods in the heavenly realm, able to summon the wind and rain, move stars and fight with unparalleled power." The old man tempted me by saying.
"Well, it's okay, just so-so." Ao Tian himself was a boundary cultivator, and his cultivation had reached the level of material boundaries, equivalent to the late stage of a true immortal's tribulation. So it was normal that he didn't have much enthusiasm for this profession.
"What, this powerful profession in your eyes is just mediocre? Ordinary professions can only add 3 points to all attributes when changing jobs, while cultivators are +5 to all attributes! The five attributes are a full 10 points more!" The old man grabbed Ao Tian's shoulder and shouted. This profession was one of the strongest in the East, how could he not be excited?
"Old man, don't get agitated, some things are beyond your understanding. Alright, help me change jobs." Ao Tian said calmly.
"Alright...alright...I'll help you change jobs now."
System Prompt: Will player Long Ao Tian change his profession to Cultivator?
Yes

System Prompt: Congratulations, you are the first player to upgrade your profession to a 2nd transfer profession. System reward: Charm +1 point, Luck +1 point.
A series of system prompts made me dizzy, and I didn't understand what a cultivator meant. So I led the way with my doubts and asked the old man: "Old sir, why did I become a cultivator instead of a true cultivator?"
"What? You...you...actually became a cultivator?! Quickly open your attribute panel and let me take a look."
"Ah!" After hearing the old man's words, I opened the attribute bar, and what was presented before me was

After seeing my attributes, the old man couldn't help but sigh and say: "Abnormal, abnormal. Alas..."
"Calm down, I've got a ring here, help me appraise it." As I said that, I patted the old man's shoulder and tossed the ring into his hand, almost knocking him over. Looks like this old man is all bark and no bite. Haha...
"Nowadays, young people don't know how to respect their elders. Here, I've appraised it. Not bad, huh? You've already reached gold equipment so quickly." As he spoke, the old man stroked the ring with his hand, and a faint golden glow emanated from it. At this moment, I took the ring in my hand and saw its properties.
Charm Ring (Golden Equipment) increases charm by 1 point. It was originally meant to increase charm, but this is a hidden attribute that can increase friendliness with NPCs! I quickly equipped it. Before I could even thank the old man, I heard him say...
"Alright, Ao Tian, this might be your destiny. After I leave, a system NPC will replace me here, so you can come here to change jobs each time. I should also go now. Although cultivators are powerful, all skills require self-enlightenment. As the saying goes, 'the human world is vague, the immortal world is vast.' You take care of yourself!" After finishing speaking, the old man vanished.
Left behind was Ao Tian, who was deep in thought... "The path of humanity is obscure, the path of immortality is vague... The path of humanity is obscure, the path of immortality is vague... The path of humanity is obscure, the path of immortality is vague..." Ao Tian repeated these words over and over again, and to his surprise, the Wu Wei Heart Method began to run automatically in the game. A white mist enveloped Ao Tian's body, and he was completely unaware of what was happening inside. At this moment, the system prompt sounded...
System Prompt: Player Ao Tian has comprehended the Heavenly Way and gained insight into an SSS-level cultivation technique. The system rewards 300 prestige points. Please name the technique.
At this time, Ao Tian was still thinking about the old man's last words and didn't notice the system prompt. The system announcement also rang out afterwards.
System Announcement: Due to a player's first mastery of a skill, the game is currently undergoing an update, which will last for 12 hours. Please log off within 3 minutes. For details, please check the official website.

The announcement was made three times in a row. At this time, Ao Tian was also woken up by the system's announcement sound and then went offline. After going offline, Ao Tian recalled the scene just now and meditated in reality.
Countdown to meeting with heroine...
